"I voted for this draft regulation laying down the obligations of operators selling timber and timber products on the European market. The ban on sales of illegally harvested timber on the internal European market is to be welcomed. This decision is essential if we are to combat illegal deforestation linked to the exploitation of exotic timber for western consumers. It is also a significant step in the fight against global warming. The regulation provides significant guarantees in terms of firmness, dissuasion and harmonisation of Member State legislation. It is a necessary step if we are to fight effectively against such illegal trade in the EU. It will help to preserve the future of timber materials. I therefore welcome the imminent entry into force of this new regulation which proves that, in some areas, the EU can play a positive role if its Member States correctly apply this legislation."@en1
